Alphonse Mucha The Complete Posters and Panels

This book is the complete catalog of Mucha's posters, calendars, and decorative panels--many of them only recently discovered after a world-wide search by the authors, and reproduced here for the first time. This compendium goes far beyond merely reproducing the works: each item has been painstakingly researched and fully annotated. Much of the background has been supplied by the artist's son, Jiri Mucha, who for the first time granted full access to the world's most complete Mucha collection , as well as to his personal archives. As a result, the capsule biography of the artist includes many new facts and fascinating details authenticated from original correspondence and memorabilia.
